Thomas Marriott, the ace trumpeter who last year became the youngest inductee into the Seattle Jazz Hall of Fame, assembles the next generation of players — rising stars he has mentored as the convener of the Seattle Jazz Fellowship. This year’s under-21 talents include pianist Maddie Johnston, bassist Theodore McGaughey, and drummer Aviv Cisneros.
The Fellowship Futures is a mentorship program of Seattle Jazz Fellowship, where a band of jazz musicians under 21 years of age, selected through an audition process, work together for one year to develop and maintain a performance repertoire with input and mentoring from various community members. The band members learn the finer points of jazz performance, musical communication, professional skills development, and band leadership while performing regularly around the region and working with top professionals of the jazz idiom.

One of the city’s finest jazz instrumentalists, the trumpeter, composer, and producer Thomas Marriott, is this year’s Earshot Festival Resident Artist. A go-to for contemporary standard-bearers with a history beside jazz elders, Marriott’s horn has been in demand with bands such as the Spanish Harlem Orchestra, Captain Black Big Band, Ivan Neville’s Dumpstafunk, hip-hop pioneer Deltron 3030, and vocalists Kurt Elling, Ernestine Anderson, among others. His own albums, 14 in all, have reached number one on the jazz radio airplay charts and earned 4 1/2 stars in Downbeat. Marriott has been featured in the New York Times and NPR, has won 9 Golden Ear Awards, and is the youngest inductee into the Seattle Jazz Hall of Fame. He has spent more than 20 seasons as a soloist with the Seattle Repertory Jazz Orchestra and is the founder of Seattle Jazz Fellowship. In 2024, he was named a “Jazz Hero” by the Jazz Journalists Association of America.
